Halo: Reach is a prequel to the original Halo trilogy. You witness the fall of the planet Reach, something fans have been waiting for since the 2001 release of the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach. It&#39;s kind of odd that this is the last Halo game developed by Bungie, yet it falls at the start of the main series&#39; timeline. The game is set in the year 2552, when mankind is at war with an alliance of alien races collectively known as the Covenant. The Covenant claim the destruction of humans is the will of their gods, the long-extinct Forerunners. The Covenant are fought by an army called the UNSC (United Nations Space Command), which genetically alters a small portion of their soldier into supersoldiers called Spartans. Spartans don powerful suits of armor with a rechargeable shield. The armor enhances reaction, strength, and jump height. (Halo fans, remember that this takes place before Master Chief is one of the last Spartans still serving in the UNSC) The campaign begins by shows the ruins of the planet Reach, the UNSC&#39;s military stronghold. The battered and dirty helmet of your customized Spartan lies on the ground. It then flashes back to a UNSC camp on Reach, where Spartan Noble Six, the character whom you assume the role of, meets Noble Team, which is composed of five other specially selected Spartans. Your teammates are Noble One, Carter, the bold, no-nonsense leader of Noble Team; Noble Two, Catherine (better known as Kat), the team’s techie who has a robotic prosthetic arm (it was lost in a prior battle); Noble Three, Jun (pronounced &quot;June&quot;), the team’s sniper; Noble Four, Emile, a witty but sometimes silent soldier who has a dome-like helmet with a skull painted on it and carries around a machete; and Noble Five, the bulky Jorge, who’s brutal in battle but has a big heart. Noble Team’s first mission is to investigate distress signals coming from a farm. The action takes awhile to heat up, but when it does, you’ll realize that, even on Normal difficulty level, this game is no cakewalk, especially when you try to tackle it on your own. You’re sure to encounter frustrating moments. You can engage in two-to-four player co-op, which eases the trouble, unless you have the world’s worst partner (my brother), who sabotages the mission in any way possible. The battles in this game are on a larger scale then ever before. You can see the charred remnants of mountain ranges and cities, and look up at the sky to see dogfights between Banshees and Falcons. It&#39;s even possible to be crushed by Banshee debris. Something you’ll notice right away is how amazing the game looks, especially during cut-scenes. I’ve found that I’m one of the only people I know who enjoys cut-scenes or even the campaign. The campaign’s story, while not very deep, is compelling and has several twists. But the campaign isn’t all there is to the game. Of course, for those who have an Xbox Live Gold Membership, there’s Matchmaking-- online multiplayer. There are many modes in Matchmaking, including old favorites like Slayer, Capture the Flag, and Oddball. There&#39;s also a handful of new modes, my favorite of which is Headhunter. In this mode, every player starts off with the possession of a single flaming skull. More skulls are scattered throughout the map. To earn skulls, you must deposit these skulls at a zone. Upon dying, you will drop any skulls you have acquired. There is also a new co-op playlist that allows you to play the campaign or Firefight in a matchmade game for the first time. Nowadays, games are focused solid online multiplayer, and not only does Reach do that, but it delivers some of the best local multiplayer options of any game I&#39;ve ever played. Returning from Halo 3: ODST is Firefight, a mode in which you’re given 10 lives (bumped up from seven) to fight for your life in various sub-modes. You are now able to customize nearly every aspect of the mode. There is also Custom Game, which allows you to play any Matchmaking mode offline with friends, or invite your Xbox Live friends. Furthermore, there&#39;s Forge, a mode returning from Halo 3 which allows you to create your own maps with limited supplies and play on them with pals. Forge has been vastly improved, as you can now create structures. Lastly, there&#39;s Theater, in which you can watch and edit films of recent sessions, and pause to take screenshots of your favorite moments. Pics, films, maps, and modes can all be uploaded to the File Share for other Reach players to enjoy. You are still able to recommend a file to all your friends by selecting a single option, You can now obtain credits (cR) in order to purchase various items and also level up. This includes armor, which is just to look awesome; Firefight voices, if you don&#39;t enjoy Noble Six&#39;s voice in Firefight; and armor effects. There are daily challenges that give you a chance to earn cR. However, a large amount of these challenges can only be completed by playing Matchmaking, which I only sometimes. Your military rank can now be increased outside of Matchmaking, so you don&#39;t need to play Matchmaking for people to know how good you are. There is a handful of new weapons, including the designated marksman rifle (DMR), the grenade launcher, the target locator (human weapons), the plasma repeater,, the plasma launcher, and the concussion rifle (Covenant weapons). However, it&#39;s missing a few old favorites, such as the battle rifle, the submachine gun (human), the carbine, the beam rifle, and the Brute shot (Covenant). You can&#39;t even dual-wield handguns (nor could you in Halo 3: ODST, released the previous year)! There are two new vehicles: the Falcon, a helicopter with two turrets (human), and the Revenant, a sleek, red vehicle equipped with a plasma mortar, boosters, and a passenger seat (Covenant). But the game is missing the Hornet (human), the Chopper, and the Prowler (Covenant). Even so, it&#39;s more important what a game does have over what it doesn&#39;t. However, the game suffers from occasional but brief lag spikes despite the annoyingly lengthy load times, which are to pre-load the games and prevent lag. Last of all, and this is self-explanatory if you&#39;ve played a Halo game, the visuals and orchestrated soundtrack are absolutely amazing. Halo games have always had great graphics, but the engine was drastically overhauled over the course of development. Halo 3: ODST doesn&#39;t have much on Reach in the visuals department! The vistas are gorgeous, and the character detail has been vastly improved. Examples of this are the dents and scratches on Spartan armor. The soundtrack is arguably composer Martin O&#39;Donnell&#39;s best work yet. From gameplay, to graphics, to content diversity, there are few times when Halo: Reach ceases to amaze. If you’re an Xbox 360 owner who’s of age to play M-rated games (even though this game shouldn’t be rated M), then this game is a definite must-have. Ups: Great campaign, Content diversity, Amazing visuals and soundtrack, New weapons and vehicles, Tons of new content, Downs: Sometimes very difficult, Daily challenges are overly focused on Matchmaking, Missing weapons and vehicles, Lengthy load times.

Most of them are simple (ex. kill a set amount of enemies in the campaign with automatic weapons) and can be accomplished from normal play in relatively short periods of time. You can find them under &ldquo;Challenges&rdquo; (shocker!) in the pause menu. Completing them might not seem to award that much cR (one day&rsquo;s combined daily challenges totaled 3,800 cR while another was 2,100 cR), but multiply that by seven, add in the 1,500 from the weekly challenge, and you&rsquo;re looking at a nice consistent chunk of change. The coveted Master Chief voice will be yours in no time. Also, get some friends and go for LASO challenges when they become available, they give between 10,000- 20,000cR.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 2: Upgrade Your Commendations</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Commendations are hidden under &ldquo;Service Record&rdquo; after selecting &ldquo;Player&rdquo; in the pause menu. Campaign, matchmaking and Firefight each have their own unique commendations, each containing five different levels. Break into the bronze rank and you get 600 cR; silver rank gets you double that,&nbsp;<a href="http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Commendations">and so on</a>.&nbsp;Upgrading a commendation is as simple as reading the description and then performing that action. Just know that you must play the appropriate game mode to level up a commendation; killing grunts in Firefight won&rsquo;t add to your campaign tally, and vice versa.</p> <p>Many commendations will take a while to complete (the &ldquo;Pinpoint&rdquo; commendation in the campaign for example requires 4,000 head shot kills to go gold), and some are downright frustrating (finishing levels on Heroic or Legendary difficulty without dying). But&nbsp;<a href="http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Commendations" target="_blank">all yield cR</a>. &nbsp;Your best bet is to aim at whatever commendations are within reach based on your natural play style, and avoid spending too much time chasing nearly-impossible goals, when you could be racking up easy cR elsewhere.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 3: Tag Along</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Whether you&rsquo;re new to the game or a seasoned vet, sticking with teammates is a solid strategy, but it&rsquo;s also a great way to earn cR. In Halo: Reach, you get bonuses for assisting on a kill (some challenges are based on assists, too) and for avenging a teammate&rsquo;s death. Besides, you&rsquo;re more likely to get kills in the first place when your buddy has already done some of the work. If you can join up with some friends and communicate, even better.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 4: SWAT or Not</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>SWAT is a decent choice for a quick cR fix due to the focused nature of the game type, so vote for it when possible. It&rsquo;s essentially Slayer (or Team Slayer), but everyone loads out with a DMR, a magnum, their chosen armor ability, and no shields. Kills are quick (one head shot is all it takes), which means you don&rsquo;t have to worry about playing the entire length of a match. And if you&rsquo;re a dead-eye, so much the better; you&rsquo;ll rack up a string of kills with ease and end the match that much faster. Just remember: the faster you shoot the DMR, the less accurate it is. If you miss that first head shot, don&rsquo;t fire again right away. Wait that extra second for the reticle to shrink to its default size before engaging your opponent again. It&rsquo;s easy to forget that in the heat of battle, but it could save your life and end the other guy&rsquo;s.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 5: Show Off in the Campaign</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You&rsquo;re a Spartan; play like one. Small amounts of cR are awarded during missions for kills, and those handfuls add up. Increase the amount gained through stylish play and toppling tougher enemies. For example, destroying an enemy and the vehicle they&rsquo;re riding in yields more cR than just killing the enemy. Turn on&nbsp; Score Mode (even if you&rsquo;re playing alone) to get a feel for the timing required for double kills and other medals. And if you&rsquo;re playing with other people, don&rsquo;t always feel like you need to kill everything that moves. That&rsquo;s just a sure-fire way of dying a lot and pissing off your teammates. Assists count towards a Support Role commendation, so let your partner finish off that Elite whose shield you destroyed.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 6: Get Some Multi-Kills in Multi-Team</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Multi-team is lesser known (and played), but it&rsquo;s great for earning cR. Pitting six teams of two against each other in slayer and random objective-based matches, this game type is noteworthy because you aren&rsquo;t sharing your kills with three &ndash; or, in the case of Big Team Battle, seven &ndash; other players. It&rsquo;s just you, a single partner, and 10 moving targets. Thanks to the frantic pace (five other teams will be jumping around shooting each other), it&rsquo;s easy to steal kills. That&rsquo;s playing smart, though the other teams will have another word for it they&rsquo;ll be sure to share in the post-game carnage report. Multi-team matches tend to end quickly, too, meaning you&rsquo;ll have more chances at the &ldquo;lottery&rdquo; credits earned at the end of every game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 7: ONI Sword Base Trick</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Use the Target Locator : By using it on enemies instead of the two Wraiths, you can rack up insane multi-kills. The only downfall is that eventually the cR amount drops dramatically, which means you can&rsquo;t abuse it indefinitely. On the plus side, this is also an easy way to level up the &ldquo;Splash Damage&rdquo; and &ldquo;Cannon Fodder&rdquo; commendations.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight:normal;">Hint 8: Fight the Gruntpocalypse</span></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&ldquo;Gruntpocalypse&rdquo; is a rendition of Firefight that pits you against an army of grunts. Killing grunts is great fun (especially with the Grunt birthday party skull activated),<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4aR8PP3q7A" target="_blank">and as this video illustrates</a>, an easy (and quick) way to earn cR. Depending on your skill and speed, it will take around eight minutes to earn roughly 2,000 cR. And, again, you&rsquo;ll randomly pick up bonuses here due to upgrading commendations tied into the Firefight mode. It&rsquo;s good for everybody &ndash; except those poor grunt bastards.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Wiki Page: How To Get Kills in Halohttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/w/guides/how-to-get-kills-in-halo.aspxWed, 10 Oct 2012 01:25:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:3205Joe yo BOSS<p><img style="padding-top:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:8px;" id="il_fi" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSt-xJp3mblNZC2TNiDBvvarbFsNmsIcQGK00FeZrS9-7X-wFBy_8exaS6C" width="225" height="225" alt="" />If you dont know a frag gernade takes out you&#39;re sheild so the best way to get kills is to throw a gernade at the ground in front of them enles you have a plasma then throw it at the&#39;re face! the best place to be is with tight hallways so if you miss then it can still bounce and hit him/her. then also the DMR even if the enemy is realy close if you spam the DMR it will do less damege .

This means they may be suiciding. Watch for a fast moving dot going across your radar toward you, especially if using Active Camouflage. Also, watch out for fuel rod cannons. If you see one always try to kill them first, for the Fuel Rod Cannon is almost better than your Rocket Launcher, as it has a better fire rate and bigger clip size. Helpful tip: If you have ammo to burn in a high powered explosive launcher, than always feel free to use it up to gain multiple kills per shot. </p> <p><strong>Elites-</strong> </p> <p>Armor: Strong </p> <p>Weapons: Moderately High - Extremely Powerful </p> <p>Best Tactic: Asssasssinations, Headshots, and Melees, <strong>Plasma Pistol Overcharge/Headshot, grenade launcher EMP<br /></strong></p> <p> Plasma Pistol overcharge headshots do NOT always kill on higher difficulties. Grenade Launcher EMPs should only be used to take down shields/armor, for it is hard to get direct hits with it. </p> <p><strong>Hunters-</strong> </p> <p>Armor: Completely indestructible from the front, the back holds a fleshy weak point </p> <p>Weapons: Extremely Powerful - Instant Kill </p> <p> Best Tactic: Hang back and wait for them to charge at you, then jump over their heads or run around them to where you face the back. Then, take out the most powerful weapon/explosive you have and unload it onto its back. </p> <p><strong>Jackals-</strong> </p> <p>Armor: Moderate </p> <p>Weapons: Moderately High </p> <p>Best Tactic: <strong><strong>Grenades, Headshots</strong>,</strong> and Melees</p> <p> When facing Jackals that have the arm shields, try to get to the side or jump up to where you can get a clear shot at them, then, shoot them with anything and they will be dealt with quickly. Remember, without a shield, they are practically a Grunt with longer legs. An alternative tactic is to shoot the small gap in their shields with either a DMR, Sniper Rifle, or Pistol. (Obviously, you will need to use the scope.)</p> <p><strong>Skirmishers-</strong> </p> <p>Armor: Weak, unless they are higher rank, or have shields </p> <p>Weapons: Moderately High - High </p> <p>Best Tactic:= Melee ,<strong>Headshots</strong>, and Grenades</p> <p> These enemies, on easier difficulties and not high rank, are just slightly upgraded Jackals, and can be dealt with the same way you would a Jackal. But, when on higher difficulties, do NOT underestimate for they will swarm and make quick work of you due to their high speed and shields. </p> <p><strong>Drones-</strong></p> <p><strong></strong>Armor: Moderate </p> <p>Weapons: Moderately High </p> <p>Best Tactic: <strong>Headshotssss</strong></p> <p> All I can say is, get a high RoF weapon or something that goes &quot;boom&quot; because these things swarm in the 10&#39;s. It may not seem that bad, but they are each equipped with Plasma Pistols, so if you&#39;ve seen the Grunts Pistols on Legendary, you&#39;ll know what I mean by, TAKE THEM ALL OUT ASAP </p> <p><strong>Engineers-</strong> </p> <p>Armor: Moderate </p> <p>Weapons: None</p> <p>Best Tactic: Headshots, pretty much anything can make quick work of these creatures, just make it quick These strange things give a 2x shield to every enemy in the area, so take these out first in a fight. </p> <p><strong>Brutes-</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>Armor: Moderate - Strong </p> <p>Weapons: Moderately Powerful - Strong </p> <p>Best Tactic: <strong>Headshots,</strong> Melees (sometimes), <strong>any needle gun</strong> and Grenades</p> <p> My advice is to aim for the head with anything you have because once you knock off their helmet, it&#39;s pretty much a one shot kill. If you melee them, they will roar and charge at you and heavily hit you with whatever their holding, but, if you take the opportunity given when the roar, one more punch should be the end of them. All in all, do not underestimate with any enemy. Especially in the later levels and difficulties.</p>Blog Post: Bungie goes out with a bang with Halo: Reachhttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/b/user_reviews/archive/2012/03/21/bungie-goes-out-with-a-bang-with-halo-reach.aspxWed, 21 Mar 2012 20:16:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:1788844Juanolo<p><span style="font-size:small;">When I&#39;d played Halo 3 ODST, I thought it was great, and couldn&#39;t wait until my friend got Halo Reach.

I loved every minute of it, and couldn&#39;t wait for Halo 2. I then worked my way to Halo 3, and Halo 3: ODST. I&#39;m kind of glad I didn&#39;t give Halo Wars a second look. I always enjoyed the multiplayer on all of them, and while ODST&#39;s campaign was dissapointing, the game didn&#39;t collect dust due to the multiplayer. I was excited seeing Halo 3 introducing Forge, as I liked creating things like Forts and such. </p> <p>Halo: Reach&#39;s multiplayer definetly delivered, and like ODST, it didn&#39;t collect dust thanks to Firefight. I was engulfed in waves of Covenant, and was loving every minute of it. I&#39;m always using a jetpack, and I often use it to pull my butt out of the fire. The Forge mode was great, and I&#39;m still adding on to my&nbsp;Fort which I saved under the name of &quot;Rodney&quot;, since I was listening to a Rodney Dangerfield tape when I first started working on it. Forge alone provided me with hours of entertainment.</p> <p>Now to the campaign. The scenery on Reach is beautiful amazing, and the controls are as smooth as ever. But the campaign is what got me. I only played a few levels into it, and I&#39;m not feeling the vibe of the original Halo trilogy. The thrills, the drama, the narrative, none of it. The music was as crisp as ever, but I seemed to think that Halo was turning into the normal &quot;shoot &#39;em up&quot; that I see today with Modern Warfare. The seemingly pointless missions turned me off immeidiantly. Like ODST again, I am not feeling the original Halo feeling. </p> <p>I know you&#39;re thinking &quot;How can he compare ODST to Reach?&quot; I know, I know. ODST was a lot worse than Reach, but similar: the campaigns were not great, and I played it mostly for multiplayer.</p> <p>I&#39;m sad to see Bungie not developing the next Halo, but I&#39;m also excited to see how 343 Industries will take an innovative franchise like Halo, and turn innovate it even further. I just hope I can pick up the Halo vibe in Halo 4&#39;s campaign, and not be dissapointed.</p>Forum Post: Re: Trouble With Map Packshttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/f/4066/p/81550/1758125.aspx#1758125Fri, 09 Mar 2012 01:39:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:1758125RPGX400<p>all you need to do hopefully is to re download them on your xbox using recent downloads on account activity.</p> Wiki Page: Halo: Reach, Long Night of Solace, Four Elites of the Apocalypse Legendary Guidehttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/w/guides/halo-reach-long-night-of-solace-four-elites-of-the-apocalypse-legendary-guide.aspxMon, 27 Feb 2012 10:01:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2613Lolfox1019<p>In the level Long Night of Solace, the last part of the mission requires you to kill oncoming waves of enemies. One of these waves include the Four Elites of the Apocalypse. Four ultra Elites with powerful weapons charge in the room and are extremely deadly on Legendary. The best way to kill them is to use an exploit which allows you to use the gun on the Pelican. Simply approach the front of the Pelican and hold X. If it doesn&#39;t work it means it has de-spawned. If you do go in it, bear in mind that it could de-spawn at any time. If you cannot use the gun, make sure you have a plasma pistol, a DMR or Needle Rifle and a Drop Shield armour ability. Use the drop shield to shield yourself from the Elites and when one has stopped firing use the noob combo on it. This comes down to luck in the end so good luck!</p>Forum Post: halo reachhttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/f/4066/p/207497/1681901.aspx#1681901Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:27:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:1681901angelo dileonardo<p>this game is great to play but xbox live thinks they have to police the &nbsp;site and ban kids for stupid stuff &nbsp;everybody pays to be on xbox live &nbsp;for halo reach its great &nbsp;but xbox live stinks</p>Wiki Page: Halo: Reach Vehicle Guidehttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/w/guides/halo-reach-vehicle-guide.aspxSat, 21 Jan 2012 23:10:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2561SoD x BTownBomb<p><strong>Human</strong></p> <p>Warthog</p> <p>Includes gunner and passenger.

My favorite is Halo: Combat Evolved and I can&#39;t wait for the anniversery edition. But anyway the graphics are great and have no problems. The story is great and goes along with the rest of the games put them in order ( from story timeline) it would be Reach,Combat evolved, halo 2, and then halo 3. I don&#39;t include ODST or wars because they are like an side story. But anyway back to halo reach the multiplayer is great too with many different modes to choose from which is great and may never get old. Then there is forge where you can create your own map or do what I do, play around with glitches and find fun ways to kill yourself. Also you can create your own spartan with tons of armor, color, and emblems. Also when you change it it appears the way you made it in all the modes in rech so I highly reccoment the ghame for all types of gamers.</p>Blog Post: REVIEW O REACHhttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/b/user_reviews/archive/2011/06/14/review-o-reach.aspxWed, 15 Jun 2011 00:43:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:997448bigwoodfence<p>&nbsp;</p> <div> <p>I&#39;ve never really seen how people loved Halo so much. The multiplayer action is slow as it takes some time for you to kill enemies. This Halo made me a believer. The excellent campaign is action packed with great shootouts and explosive moments but don&#39;t expect your squad to help you out much. The characters don&#39;t really get to develop into a likeable state before they are killed off so it really doesn&#39;t matter. The narrative isn&#39;t much, but it helps move you from one action set to the next. The space sequence is especially cool and it also adds a new element to the action. The multiplayer is great too. There are a ridiculous amount of game modes and choices to choose from. The daily challenges also ensure that you will be coming back everyday for a while. On the other hand the only progression system is making your spartan look cooler, this stands in stark contrast to games like battlefield and cod where the thought of getting that new gun, perk, or equipment helps you drive forward. Firefight online is usually a buggy and lag filled mess, but if you get some friends together and mess with the rules a bit you can have a good time. Halo is not for everybody, its slower combat than games like cod turn some people off from this game. All in all Reach delivers a satisfying experience for both series veterans and newcomers alike</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>Blog Post: The Best Halo Yethttps://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/b/user_reviews/archive/2011/04/28/the-best-halo-yet.aspxThu, 28 Apr 2011 21:34:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:887464Dustin<p>I have always loved the Halo series, but this one really blew me away. The campaign is epic and everything I could have wanted from a FPS. The multiplayer is the best out there in my opinion, just so easy to pick up and play for hours. just a really great game all-around.</p>Wiki Page: Halo Reach Winter Contingency https://www.gameinformer.com/games/halo_reach/w/guides/halo-reach-winter-contingency.aspxSun, 20 Mar 2011 22:22:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:1870Torimidori<p>When you start theres nothing to do so beat up on your team, if you want. They can&#39;t die unless they&#39;re seen so they can also be useful as shields. When you finally get to fight aliens your probably annoyed about how long it took to get there. A funny thing I found was when you get to where Kat and Emile get in the falcon if you have grenades throw one let it explode then throw sticky grenades it will the falcon will explode and emile and kat will fall and then disappear. Back on topic when you get in the truck just drive till you can&#39;t drive no more. When you get out of the Falcon find the catwalk outside you will get armor lock and a DMR the armor lock is effective if you want to fight. When you get to where it&#39;s just you and Jorge and Jorge says he&#39;ll cover you and there is a platform jump off the platform and look to the left there is a dead soldier he has a Shotgun and drop shield grab them and go back to Jorge try to get the Elites with the sword&#39;s attention then go back to Jorge and stand at the shut door then blind-side him with your shotgun. Then you have a Elite with a grenade launcher there is where the drop shield is effective then get him with the shotgun too. Then the Level is over. If You want to Get Carters Helmet For your avatar this is the level. I got the tip from achievement hunter on youtube. Stay Right once your out of the first building and when you are across the bridges and there is guard rail once you are at the guard rail crouch and walk and use the sprint wisely. Once you get to the truck let cater and Jorge get in and drive just hang back until its time to get in the falcon once you are there get inside with kat and Just let your team do there thing. This is the part you fight when you and Jorge are alone grab a DMR and have fun remember the shotgun. it&#39;s a easy place to get it and annoy your friends who can&#39;t get it.</p> <p>Do not take this guide seriously.</p> <p>Why, because it is utter crap.....really.</p>
